Just to be clear, the package takes any traversable variable and "stuff it" into a stream by iterating over each key/value pair and converting it into a string via callbacks. On a side note, does anybody have any suggestions on how to make interfaces less prone to namespace conflicts. Since PHP cannot alias interface methods, there is a big risk on having 2+ interfaces with methods with the same names. And we don't currently have any index of all the interfaces in PEAR (and PHP). -Philippe
